Erin Mcintosh PT
Erin is a graduate from the University of Alberta M.Sc. PT program and also has a B.Sc. in Kinesiology from the University of Calgary. While completing her undergraduate degree she also played on the University of Calgary Dinos basketball team for five years competing at nationals two of those seasons, and represented Canada at the FISU Summer World University Games in 2019 in Naples Italy.
Growing up skiing, biking, competing in track and field, and playing high level basketball, she sustained several injuries of her own and quickly learned to appreciate the role physical therapy and injury prevention could play in athlete well-being and longevity. She completed her Masters at the University of Alberta with placement work experience in private practice clinics including an exchange in Sydney Australia, a paediatric outpatient clinic, a chronic pain clinic, a workers compensation clinic, and community geriatric hospital care.
Erin employs a whole person client-centred approach to physiotherapy collaborating with her clients to understand their unique goals and needs. She combines specific exercise programs, education, and manual therapy to address the root cause of injuries and help clients build the strength and confidence to get back to doing what they love most.
